Lydia Bright has admitted monkeys broke into her room when she was travelling Thailand last year and began tearing up her stuff

The 'Only Way is Essex' star, who is known for gallivanting around Asia with her sister Georgia, has admitted she returned to her room last year when she was exploring Thailand to find the cheeky creatures smashing up her stuff.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "There's actually not that many monkeys in Cambodia. There's loads in Thailand though. They're really annoying. One time I went back to my hotel room, and I had accidentally left my window open, and I found loads of them rummaging through my stuff. My room was completely trashed. Stuff was everywhere."

Meanwhile, although the 26-year-old beauty enjoys packing her essentials into a backpack and travelling the world, she's currently tied up looking for a new home in Essex with her long-term boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent, so her plans to globe-trot this year have been put on hold for a little while.

She explained: "We are buying a house together. We still haven't found something. Well we did but it fell through. So we've been looking the last six months but we're still looking and we like went a looked at one this morning."
